Subscribe to see entertaining and enlightening videos of my hobbies. I'm a DIY kind of guy. A maker with extensive curiosity. An artist. An outdoorsman. A Nerd. I love making and shooting bows. Star Wars and lightsabers are a minor obsession. Primitive tattooing is quickly becoming one. But the variety will be endless, because I can't stand doing the same shit all the time. If you like a little spice in your life then you're gonna love me.
As it relates to everything I love to do, I’ll offer a bit of unsolicited advice. Other people will keep telling you why you can’t. You have to tell yourself you can. If you want something, ignore the bullshit… Get After It. -Michael
Love your content, hi My name is Mundo, I do a saber show on Sundays for Civilized Sabers at 8p central time would love to have you on if you have time. Saber Talk Sundays
I was instantly interested when you maximized your lace with that first cut. People may want to review that portion. It does the work of trimming the edge AND giving you maximal lace length. Well done.
I can't find carbon black, but your video is very informative. Thank you so much. I have a huge pine log, and I'll cut it to make a lot of carbon black, ensuring it's free of metals and impurities.
Liked and subscribed. I have found myself doing this also since I have so much Yew local. Ash, Elm, maple and hazel are on the list once I've managed to sell some Yew bows. Great video dude
@@sweetchariotengland Thanks man! And I like your garden! If you lived nearby I’d say we should meet up and have bow work session together. I also appreciate the asmr.
@@EccentricArtisan many thanks. Every garden needs a pond and some food. I take it you're some in the States somewhere? guna have to be pen pals for now. My housemate has been doing the spoke horse lately, giving me some space to focus on the final stages. Precious staves but he's got it down now We went and plucked some out of the forest this evening as it happens
@@EccentricArtisan lovely stuff. I started doing yew walking sticks and sold a surprising amount to old boys in the states. I'm hoping my bows make their way there also, get a chance at hunting
Just got my project started. A WarSabers/ShtokCustomWorx Revanted and all my parts finally came in this week so prepping my chassis and have everything pre tinned so your videos and tips have helped especially cleaning the left over rosin I had no idea until I watched one of your other videos
Say another one of your videos where you did QuiGon SSQy I am so glad I did. I’ve seen a ton of tutorials and I don’t remember one of them saying to clean up the flocks with isopropyl alcohol. I never knew that and never would’ve unless I seen your video so I thank you very much for that great tip keep up the great work, man!!
Yeah, it’s not a common thing to worry about I guess. It’s pretty infrequent to have issues from it bridging connections, but it does happen. I’d rather clean things that break them or have malfunctions personally. Glad you have enjoyed the videos!
I don't smoke but I could try some mugwort for my sleeping problems. I recently cut down an old apple tree from my parents yard. It struggled for years and last winter rabbits ate all the bark so it didn't survive anymore. Also I have dremel that is just sitting and waiting to get some action. I've done some pipes before, but from green wood and just with a knife. Back when I smoked and rolled my tobacco. I was in the middle of the forest and ran out of papers. But with drill + dremel the end result will definitely be much cleaner. Thanks for the inspiration.
Making pipes is such a fun woodworking project. I get a lot of joy from them. Recently I’ve been making churchwardens. Should have a video on them soon. Can be hard to keep rabbits off fruit trees in winter without hardware cloth or something similarly difficult to penetrate. I’ve definitely had trouble in the past. Thanks for watching, and I hope your project goes well!
I remember when it first became popularized. I was initially very skeptical of string blades and then neopixel due to their low durability both in components and installation style. But it’s incredible how far everything came so quickly. And neopixel really is a great option now, even for rough play. The pin connector made everything next level as too.
@@Chris-Collectible I take that back. It’s no longer available on the Etsy it seems, but he does have it on his website! www.stardustsabers.com/en-us/products/onereplicas-ssqy-chassis
@@EccentricArtisan wonder if activated charcoal holds a different color? It seems that it’s not quite the same as regular charcoal used in your other video
@@COSMLOOP activated charcoal is still charcoal, so it is created in the same way as my other ink. But what may come into play is what material that charcoal was made with. I would hesitantly say that it is possible to create different colors using certain materials to make your charcoal. However, I have not done the experimenting to know what results you may find or what materials might create color variations. To my knowledge stuff that is advertised as activated charcoal that you can buy is often made with coconut shells or bamboo. I haven’t used either material.
At the time, I believe all the parts/materials for this build were under $400 total. That obviously doesn’t factor in tools or labor. Not sure about now though. Some things have gone up in price.
Wherr are you getting tails in such good condition with such a heavy weight? All the ones I’ve managed to source are skived incredibly thin and often have damage toward the tip
It’s a crap shoot dude. I have probably bought them from five or more places, several of which were ebay sellers. It takes a lot of google/ebay searching, and the price for large, thicker tails is high. Like really high. I haven’t purchased from the same person twice as they tend to come and go.
I saw snippets of this video on a google search, and fully expected to jump time and steal a few tricks. OH. MY. GOD. This video is so well done, and so entertaining, I watched the whole damn thing, and then subscribed.
@@EccentricArtisan Thank you ^.^ I managed to turn my baselit amazon hilt old LCL clone into a Xeno3 and I figured... well Might as well build the blade too XD Greatly appreciate such a detailed tutorial ^.^
You are correct. Both of those feathers are not legal to possess unless you have a special permit which most individuals cannot obtain. I find it to be a rather silly law since it is quite outdated. It was originally meant to crack down on the killing of migratory birds in North America more than a century ago. At the time Birds were frequently killed for the harvest of their skins in order to create fashion wear. This was seen as a serious threat to their populations, but obviously isn’t a regular practice now. Though I personally feel collecting feathers to be totally acceptable, it may have been prudent to share a disclaimer in the video.
Awesome video brotha. I've got a ton of staves seasoning right now and can't wait to start building. Thanks for making these videos. Quick question, can that same length hickory bow be built with a thicker handle ?
Nice! Thanks for watching them. Yes, but then you would lose some of the “working limb” length because the handle wouldn’t bend the same. It isn’t much, but it adds up. Essentially the rule of thumb is to have the total working limb length at 2x your draw length. If you break that rule by going shorter, you can damage or break a bow, especially at medium to high draw weights.
Wow, absolutely amazing my friend. Love all of your touches and add ons, you have realized my dream. This would probably take me a year n a half or 2 😅 You are truly blessed to have a man in your life to share such things with you ❤
Do not do what this dude is doing. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Please people let's not give tutorials on how to create new diseases. Do you not see the potentially dangerous results from your video. Do you know how many people probably went outside and grabbed a stick and started poking themselves with it after they watched this. Now what demographic of human human being doesn't have the resources to purchase tattoo equipment. Would it be grown ass adults with jobs and friends who tattoo who have IDs and vehicles? Probably not. Probably the kind of human being that isn't able to get an ID. Doesn't have a job. Therefore money or a car to get them to a tattoo supply store. It's going to be the the little ones, the ones who must utilize natural resources to supplement these items. Children are going to go outside and grab sticks and poke themselves with them because of this video. Good job dude!
Nope. Activated charcoal is just charcoal that has been created/processed in a specific way. Lamp black differs from charcoal because it is a super fine and oil rich version of charcoal powder. You can create charcoal by burning wood and then you can grind it to make powder. However, lamp black requires burning resin or highly resinous wood to collect the soot. Soot is much finer than charcoal dust and a bit different composition. Sorry for the late response. Never got a notification for whatever reason.
This is a @troopertrent Training Remote, that I built with one of his incredible kits. The details in design and instructions are of exceptional quality, and just about anyone with enough patience to follow his short video series, that comes with the kit purchase, would be able to complete this project. I really appreciate the amount of dedication he gave to this amazingly accurate re-creation of a classic Star Wars prop. Thank you Trent!! www.etsy.com/listing/1606761386/floating-jedi-training-remote-kit?click_key=5443fcd754400503ca69406e16f489ef4913e676%3A1606761386&click_sum=fc5e6701&ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1&sts=1 These kits are now BYOB (bring your own ball)
That was my thinking which is why I put it on the back side. I suppose it could go on the front if you wanted to put it there. Not sure how big the difference would be, but I’m guessing there might be a small one.
This is brilliant! Thank you, I've got my first Proffie saber, but want some non-Star Wars options for it, like a short dagger blade, and a big flame effect on the end of a pike attachment I've built, your guide will help me make these!
I just have two questions; is the first break in the LED chain and resoldering of that tiny gap at 3:40 just to keep the LED spacing even? There's no other benefit? And if I snip the LED strip anywhere can it still work? I plan to make a dagger blade so would be a lot shorter, and if possible use the rest of the strips to make a second, more expansive flame effect shape. Cheers!@@EccentricArtisan
@@cameronmcarthur4044 yes, and yes. Trimming and resoldering the factory joint is to eliminate that tiny gap or dark spot. It doesn’t have any additional benefit. And as long as you cut between the leds, down the middle of the copper pads, they will all continue to work.
